"…There’s this Igbo proverb that says, nwata hu ebe
egboro ogu, ogu a ana agu ya: if a child witnesses
a fight in which the opponents are separated, the
child would want to fight in the future. One who has
not experienced a thing does not know what it is.

I can forgive my father’s generation who witnessed
the civil war agitating for the state of Biafra but
not the youths of today, what’s their reason?". What are your reasons Can't you guys see that you have been brainwashed to believe lies

You can't say this. I reside here in Lagos and I know that the mention of the word 'Biafra' sparks fire in overwhelming majority of Igbo people here, including business and land owners. We may not openingly talk about it for obvious reasons, but when the time comes for a referendum then we'll know. You don't expect us to run back East now just because of online chants. Finally be rest assured that we have no plans of drowning in the lagoon.

Is America homogenous? Canada? Even Russia/the Old Soviet Union?

(Russia today is not homogenous....they have Europeans and Asians)

Lordave:
[b]The thread is a haven for other ethnic groups to call Igbos all sorts of names. You claim to be Igbo and opened this thread to discourage those agitating for Biafra, yet you ignored and even supported mor0ns like omoamukoda in bashing Igbos out of context and purpose.
Now people are all over the thread insulting Igbos generally and you're rejoicing and merrying with them. What type of Igbo are you?
Have you lost your senses? Do you actually know your roots? Are you really Igbo? Even non Nigerians would ask these questions.


You don't see anything inciting but I'm riled up already.
Take for example, you were asking who Igbos were and what they stood for when the British came to Nigeria. You're Igbo, nevertheless, the Hausa/fulani centralised pre colonial system of administration made more sense to you than the egalitarian Igbos republican system. Even the whites recognised us as people naturally independent, our system was comparable with the ancient Greek democratic system. Is it that you have an inborn slave instinct or you're an Hausa-fulani claiming Igbo?
Even Yorubas insulting Igbos on this thread would also marvel at the level of your Iberiberism if actually you're Igbo.

No matter how strong you're against a decision you will never stoop so low in technically making stupid jest of your brothers. A Yoruba won't cherish our pre colonial system of government over theirs and that leaves me wondering if you're actually sane or just a jumped-up random impostor. [/b]

LAGrejectIBO:


In reality Ibos want to coexist because Nigeria is a big outlet and produces economic sustenance to their livelihoods, and quality of life. Their disadvantage is political.....they are culturally endowed with a social system that is apathy to the mode of politics and state rulership practiced in Nigeria. Democracy and State Rulership....the existence of a social heirarchy of authority and orderliness comes natural to Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani, who for centuries existed under Obas and Sarkis.

So Ibos want Nigeria but the Nigerian politics is too overwhelming for them, and everytime Ibo get power he miuses it and ruin everything because the system is too confusing for his understanding. As i said earlier, Bifra is a cop out...a hideout for Ibos intimidated by the political rivalry.

Dinachi bu nwafor igbo kara aka!
If a referendum is carried out, you will be amazed at the result. More than 80% of Igbo will vote to stay in one united Nigeria. Mark my words.

chibuezewilliam:
ok sir,make una continue wit una struggle,just know dat 90% of us in the north and south west wont join u guys...wish una goodluck.

dinachi:

How were they treated? Threads were created to insult them and that now nececitates Biafra. You Biafra clowns never ceases to amaze me.
Remove this victim mentality from yourselves.
I am a full blooded Igbo man born in Igbo land but I am certainly not a foolish man.
When Abiola was denied the Presidency did the Yorubas pull out of Nigeria.
If you want to agitate, do it INSIDE Nigeria.
It is this Biafra nonsense that affects us every time we want to run for presidency. Other tribes are suspicious of our intents. A Nigerdeltan just finished serving as president albeit terribly but he never one day mentioned Niger Delta republic with his mouth.

Datz bulshit... Igbo land wit money... Dey dnt value life's wen it cmes 2 money. No wonder dey hv d highest nos of runs babes.

BMedia:




You people were caught lying red handed on this thread, and the best you can do is shamelessly insult me then go on saying rubbish that won't make sense to a toddler.

Didn't you claim Nnamdi Kanu never asks for money and he's not a fraud?

Now you shamelessly tell us he is asking his gullible followers for dollars 'to prove he is serious..'

You're even dumber than I expected.

BMedia:


That's not true. He demanded IPOB members in America to raise $50 million for the 'movement', and went as far as asking the gullible lot to mortgage their houses and donate the money

dinachi:

Where does he get his money for training 'oversea' weapon manufacturers? Clown! I will advice you invest more in your self to improve your poor understanding of national issues.
Can you give a fairly good account of Daniel Kanu? Who is he? What was he doing before the silly radio Biafra project? How did he get money to set up the radio?
If it is people like you and Daniel kanu that are pushing the funny Biafra project then you can be rest assured that it is dead on arrival.

Ishilove:

They fail to learn from history because they fail to read and use their thinking faculties. Their leaders are corrupt and selfish.

dinachi:

There is no movement anywhere. Nnamdi KANU is another Asari like fellow making money from gullible people like you. Many of you are not smart at all! Have you asked yourself why he started his radio station after Jonathan lost the election?
He wants to use the medium to raise money from fools like you who will throw away your lives savings to support a smarter man who is an expert in playing with your emotions!

dinachi:
I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like barcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.
Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

Thanks for buttressing my points. The Ape who had a national outlook.

No wonder we all love the Igbos. Very lovable tribe.

StOla:
And for all Obasanjo's efforts towards the Igbos, do they love him today now that he is no longer in power to give them appointments?

PrincessJaneDoe:


Study Igbos very well and like me you will soon come to the conclusion that an average Igbo man does not like anyone. If you are nice to them they see this as a weakness, think you are stupid and will try to take advantage of you.

nduchucks:


Make no mistake about it, die hard biafrans and closet secessionists like Duru1 consider the entire SS area as being part of Igboland.

Ochiske:

can you imagine this one since when Calabar dey south east? Go and read your history books. Leave my state alone!
